It's light on information, but it's more than we'd otherwise know thanks to Konami's cancellation of the project, so we'll take it.

"We were talking about using the next-generation console in a way that would really surprise people," del Toro explained. "We said, 'Let's really freak out people, let's really cause a panic with Silent Hills - let's go for full-blown social madness'."

Asked if he would collaborate in future with Kojima, del Toro was coy - though full of praise for his "sort of friend".

"Whatever it is, work or not, I consider Kojima-san a master and I have the good fortune of having some sort of friendship or relationship," he added.

"For me the interest is just to interact with like-minded people. The fact he can show me stuff he's working on and I can show him stuff I'm working on, it's enough."

Most importantly, del Toro revealed that Kojima did indeed sing at karaoke, while Ito didn't. Del Toro, of course, sang.
